This is what trans folks mean when we say "let us tell our stories". Will Ferrell used his clout and brand to get this made which obviously is being focused on him but the actual doc is very much Harper's story and most often in her own words. If folks won't give us a seat, pull out a chair.

Alexa, show me what running scared looks like.
Donald J. Trump & @realDonald Trump
My debate with Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the history of the United States, was slated to be broadcast on Fake News ABC, the home of George Slopadopolus, sometime in September.
Now that Joe has, not surprisingly, has quit the race, I think the Debate, with whomever the Radical Left Democrats choose, should be held on FoxNews, rather than very biased ABC. Thank you!

the Chinese abacus, once you're trained on it, is extremely fast for addition, subtraction, and multiplication, but slow on division and roots. In the 1970s, you see transitional portable electronic calculators with an abacus for shopkeepers so they can keep abacusing.
A photo of 4 transitional 1970s electronic calculators from different brands with a Japanese style sarupan abacus built into them. The idea is that those with abacus training can keep on clicking and slapping, and turn to the calculator for the hard parts that are better with the electronics.

First of all, has a person ever looked more mischievous? I wish I knew her. Secondly, this is a miniature portrait from around 1660. It comes with overlays that allow you to change her appearance for fun. Filters from 500 years ago lol!
Tiny painting inside an open pendant. Portrait of a young woman, obviously very wealthy, in a fancy dress, with dark hair worn down, in ringlets. She's looking sharply off to the side, and smirking. The whole vibe is very "Mona Lisa, if Mona Lisa was the life of the party".Same painting, but now with an overlay. You can see most of her face, but she now has a dark moustache and long beard, and is wearing a thick dark cloak with a hood.The overlay this time is of a nun's habit

I'm sorry but it's just not true that hospitals aren't reporting COVID deaths. They're using the same methods they always have — and excess deaths are near 0 so it's unlikely they're being misclassified. I think fewer people really are dying of COVID! ourworldindata.org/grapher/exce...
Excess deaths under 1% as of March 31, 2024.

This article is misleading and emboldens pandemic deniers and minimizers. It's incorrect to say there was no science to support distancing rules. The science absolutely shows us that increasing physical distance is associated with decreasing viral transmission risk.
washingtonpost.com
In the pandemic, we were told to keep 6 feet apart. There’s no science to support that.
In a congressional appearance, infectious-disease expert Anthony S. Fauci characterized the recommendation as “an empiric decision that wasn’t based on data.”

Coreham has so many tunnels under it, the whole town seems to floats on a thin crust of chalk that could fail at any moment. The council admits they've not been able to map most of them, so everywhere there's a hollow rumour of old ways down to St. Martin's Land. – #MattAdams

I love that someone took this simple photo of a little flumpus, had it developed, printed, and kept it during a time when photography was much more involved than just hitting a button on your phone. From my collection, ca. 1950s.
